Not compatible with Android 6

Getting error when trying to scan for Bluetooth devices. I assume this is due to not requesting permissions at runtime?

I have a fix in my fork https://github.com/anlif/android-BluetoothLeGatt. There’s also a pull request from someone else.

Was wondering why this example wasn’t working for me, thanks for your solution @anlif!
